Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive and invariably
fatal brain disease that is caused by a prion, an infectious protein particle.
There are two major forms of CJD, a so-called classic form that
is most common in adults between the ages of forty-five and sixty-five,
and variant CJD (vCJD), which primarily affects younger adults in their
mid- to late twenties who live in Europe, almost entirely in England.
